by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Der Tag ist in die Nacht verliebt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Tag ist in die Nacht verliebt,
Der Frühling in den Winter,
Das Leben verliebt in den Tod
Und du, du liebest mich!

Du liebst mich - schon erfassen dich
Die grauenhaften Schatten,
All deine Blüte welkt,
Und deine Seele verblutet.

Laß ab von mir, und liebe nur
Die heiteren Schmetterlinge,
Die da gaukeln im Sonnenlicht
Laß ab von mir und dem Unglück.
